It is not always going as fast, I've read the first 6.5 books in about a year I think... though I'm now at a point where I sometimes lose track of the less mentioned characters, especially when I haven't read for a while, because there are so many 😅

Welcome, welcome! I see some Martin and Tolkien influence in your name, are you a big fantasy fan in general?

Thank you, thank you. Yes I am! I've always found it fascinating how those authors create these great fantastical worlds and how your mind forms an image of them. Imagination is truly a wonderful thing :pleased-1:
Already as a child I used to make up my own "fantasy" stories and write them down, but I first got really into fantasy books after reading Harry Potter as a teen. I got really involved in that wizarding community for quite some years (I even wrote some never-finished fan fiction), but the website it was based on was cancelled back around 2016... At that time I was also quite busy with my studies, so I did not have a lot of time read anymore, but I did watch many fantasy movies and series :) A few years ago I also read the novels of miss Peregrine's home for Peculiar children, which I enjoyed a lot. At this time I still have many fantasy books on my bookshelves, waiting patiently to be read :pleased-1:

Welcome to TV! I love hearing about people reading these for the first time - getting to experience it all for the first time is so fun

Thank you Nadezhda!

It is quite hard to choose, since there are many great characters, but Loial is definitely one of my favourites, along with Moiraine. So far I think my favourite book is the shadow rising. How about you?
My favourite book is Crossroads of Twilight, though I am often outnumbered on that belief. My favourite characters are Siuan, Elaida, Moghedien, Cadsuane, and Moiraine.

Hoi Elleria! Welkom in Tar Valon!

(besides ordering a coffee and a few absolutely foul curses that I don't think should be repeated anywhere outside of Den Haag, and probably not inside it either, that's about as far as my Dutch goes 😊)

What are your other hobbies and interests?

Hahaha that's something that's better left unspoken indeed :laugh:
Besides reading my hobbies are painting, playing board games, photography, (word) puzzles, roller skating and baking 🥧
As for interests, I'm a scientist, so I like to keep up-to-date on topics in the neuroscience field 🧠

How about you?

That sounds interesting, though forgive me for asking, what is Shaoman? :embarassed:

Some day they will all be read.... some day....

Viktara wanders past carrying a large basket. She is wearing a comical, brightly colored rendition of a trolloc's horns and armor over her usual clothing--a chaotic riot of rainbow, glitter, horns, and spikes. In the basket, if one were to sneak a peek, one might spot candies wrapped in colorful paper and even a few honeycakes, small tarts, and cookies. She approaches and offers the basket to Elleria.

Happy Shaoman to you! Take a treat if you like, and enjoy the festivities!
